Yeah, Last Week Tonight is so great.

Also, I had only seen commercials for "Best Time Ever," but not actually watched it. Those clips were hilarious, especially the Britney one.

the clips there are likely the best things through the first 3 episodes. There are a few other funny bits. at this point I wouldn't recommend watching the show as it airs, but if you watch it recorded and just skip to the skits and what not it's not a bad way to kill 30 min (it's normally an hour show).

the banter is pretty bad at this point.

It all depends on the detail wanted but yeah for most top-down like the sprite you made, it's 3 animations per direction.

Total it is only 9 animations because you can flip moving left to right/right to left. So you'll only need to make the sideways motion (3), down (3) and up (3)

Gamenews:

The newest Mario game from Nintendo is unusual, surprising, and maybe even, to some gamers, a departure from the Mario franchise they know and love. But that didn’t stop 1 million people from purchasing it in the first two weeks of its release.

Nintendo announced Wednesday that Super Mario Maker, its new game for the Wii U in which players build their own Mario levels, has sold 1 million units globally.

Super Mario Maker launched in the U.S. on September 11. Since that time, the 1 million “fan developers,” as Nintendo calls them, have created a combined 2.2 million Super Mario courses that have been played 75 million times.

“The game has captured and unlocked the imaginations of gaming fans of all ages,” says Reggie Fils-Aime, COO of Nintendo of America, who adds that the game’s premise has “brought their dedication to Nintendo to a whole new level.”

Yacht Club Games has already indicated how successful Shovel Knight has proven for them on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, and it has remained that way despite having now released on other platforms.

Speaking last week at Gaming Insiders in San Francisco, Capy Games co-founder and president Nathan Vella encouraged developers to consider releasing their games across multiple platforms. He reasoned that porting games is cheap, and the effort in doing so can result in an even spread of revenue across those targeted.

When analysing Shovel Knight’s net revenue, Steam accounted for 32 percent, 30 percent on 3DS, 20 percent on Wii U, 14 percent across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and 4 percent on Xbox One.

“Shovel Knight broke the impression that indies don’t sell so well on Nintendo, and Broken Age has a surprisingly huge following on Mac,” Vella explained.

Which version of windows do you currently have? If, buy some unfortunate chance you have Windows 8...My advice would be to drop it immediately and make the switch.

my desktop has win 7 and I've read that win 10 has issues with some games I have that run perfect on 7.

by LegendX48 Thu Oct 01, 2015 1:07 pm

anywho, playing more Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker and I'm in a mission where we have to rescue two people. Most of my party enters in through the front door to confront the main mob and then my other party member sneaks in from the other side with a cardboard box solid snake style and then her dialogue: "Don't worry Diachi, Operation: Cardboard Box is a go!"

So perfect. So much silliness compared to the first game.

by Koenig Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:23 pm

For the most part Win 10 is actually running better for my computer than Win 7, but that was mostly due to years of neglect and padding on my part. I have no tried doing anything win 10 specific though.

I hope I can internalize some of the concepts of Unity soon. I am having trouble getting used to working with it, and I don't like falling behind my peers.

Hey Mazer! you have one of those Loot crate stuff subscriptions right? Ever heard of Indie Box? supposedly it's better. Been thinking about getting the subscription thing for it what do you think?

heh I love physical goods, and most of the games they have there but the mark up is just to high for stuff I already own. quite cool if you really like them and want physical but I can deal with my $2 versions instead of $30.

I've heard better things about nerdblock as it allows you to focus your package (which I think is what mazer was talking about with horrorcrate but maybe that is something different)

either way I will just be a crazy person and go with the humble monthly bundle as a random thing I will get each month (for now) lol.
